Merfolk

Merfolk are aquatic humanoids that have the upper body, arms, and head of a fair-featured human from the waist up and instead of legs it has a fish-like tail from the hips down. Males are called "Mermen", while females are called "Mermaids". Their humanoid bodies are more similar to elves than humans. Merfolk are capable of interacting with surface folk, as they can survive outside of the water.

Merfolk on land usually employ wheelchairs on land

Society and culture
Merfolk live in cities within the coral reefs of the Aljan Sea. They often train aquatic animals such as sharks and dolphins to serve as their mounts and guardians, similar to dogs and horses on land.

Merfolk typically worship spirits of the ocean and the moon as their deities.
